I accidentally hit “hide” on an item I want to see. Where’s the documentation on how to unhide?

- aragonite 3y agoIf you see it on this page (not accessible to anyone except you, logged in), you can just click "unhide" https://news.ycombinator.com/hidden?id=drfuchs https://news.ycombinator.com/hidden?id=drfuchs
- drfuchs 3y agoVery cool, thanks. How does one become aware of this class of magic? It seems completely undiscoverable, not being in the FAQ, nor in the present "List of Hacker News's undocumented features..."
- erik_seaberg 3y agoYour view of your profile page https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=drfuchs https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=drfuchs should have a “hidden” link where each story has an “un-hide” link instead of “hide.”
- drfuchs 3y agoThanks. For those wondering how someone may have missed this: Evidently I had not in fact accidentally done a "hide", so nothing was in my hidden list, and thus my profile page cleverly didn't have a "hidden" link at all.
- cwillu 3y agoThings expire off the hidden list over time as well, presumably based on when the link itself disappears, but such links will then show up on hn's historical view.
- cozzyd 3y agoYeah it's very easy to accidentally hide (or flag!) posts on my phone. Wish there was an option for a confirm screen. Every once in a while I check what I've accidentally flagged and unflag it. I'm sure I'm not the only one...
